2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the reduction unit does not reduce a value of an element corresponding to the ink of the basic color.

3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the determination unit sets the threshold value based on at least one of type information indicating a type of recording medium on which the image is to be recorded and quality information indicating a recording quality of the image.

4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the ink of the basic color is an ink that absorbs light in a predetermined specific wavelength and contains a color material not emitting light.

5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the inks of the plurality of colors include cyan ink, magenta ink, and yellow ink as inks of basic colors.

6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the inks of the plurality of colors further include black ink.

7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the inks of the plurality of colors further include at least one of light cyan ink or light magenta ink.

8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the acquisition unit acquires a color signal including an element indicating an application amount of the at least one ink of the basic color and a color signal including an element indicating an application amount of the fluorescent ink.

9. The image processing apparatus according to claim 8, further comprising a color separation unit configured to generate a color signal including the element indicating the application amount of the at least one ink of the basic color and not including the element indicating the application amount of the fluorescent ink, and input the generated color signal to the acquisition unit.

10. The image processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein a total value of elements included in the color signal generated by the color separation unit is smaller than or equal to the threshold value.

11. The image processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the determination unit calculates, as the total value, a total of the element included in the color signal generated by the color separation unit and the element of the fluorescent ink.

14. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a recording unit configured to apply the inks of the plurality of colors to the recording medium.
